I have recently been researching the same thing.

YOURLS looks like a good option although I'm not entirely sure what reporting level you can access through this.

Bit.ly offer a custom domain setting when shortening links which works great! it requires you to point your site DNS at bitly (very simple step by step instructions).

In my opinion the best option (and the one I'm going to be using) is bit.ly. It's a tried and tested platform with solid reporting and flexibility.

@Angie530

if you have to go self hosted take a look at YOURLS yourls.org/
Did you know bitly has an api, and allows you to use your own custom domain name
FOR FREE?

why not let bitly handle all that traffic?
YOURLS has its advantages since you can simply dump table.

But bitly also gets the job done for free

This script is self-hosted and has a stats page. Not sure what kind of functions you're looking for in an API but hope this helps get you started
